Happy New Year!

                                                          HAPPY NEW YEARS!

           This is my sweet grand baby playing pic-a-boo. I wanted to start the new year with a smile.


  Well it is a start of a new year,what are your plans?This past year was not the most productive for me.For this new year I have given myself a good shake to get rid of what ever was holding me down. Now on to a NEW year that this is going to be very creative  for me. I have a open mind and heart and I am ready for the the art to flow.
  What do you do to get your creative mojo moving? What or who inspires you? This year I would like to use this blog to inspire and to be inspired.Talk to me, tell me you about your art.I would love to know more.

Live Deeply and Happy New Years.

How Can It Be So Long?

 I can't believe it has been so long since I have posted on here.I seem to still  be having a hard time finding my place in this new life.Here I have time I have always wanted to do my art, but I can't seem to get my head in it.I need someone to kick me in the butt. What helps you get your creativity on?

 I did get my new display at "Studio on 6th" all ready for shoppers and I think it looks nice now. I will have to really get some new things made for the first of the year when the Christmas items are gone.

Pattern for Nelda.....

 My good friend and hooking buddy Nelda, asked me to design her a pattern for a camp she is going to next month.She had a picture of a shirt that she liked and it had paisley all over it.She wanted it 30 ins.by 60ins. which is the biggest rug I have designed so far.She also hooks in a 9 cut most of the time.  

 Well, two days and 4sharpies later I have a pattern that I hope she will like it.I know she will not be able to do all the little designs with a 9 cut  but I wanted to make it so someone working in a smaller cut  would have details to work on.

As I was working on this design I have started thinking of how I would do it.I have not ever hooked a rug this big but I think I will start color planning it so I can.

Here is Nelda hooking out-of-her box, she is using a 3 cut.
